press on

Run, jump, play and laugh often. Revert to your five year old self and build living room pillow forts while rolling around on the floor. Sip hot cocoa with far too many marshmallows and eat ice cream sundaes overflowing with fudge. You are only young once. Enjoy the little things. Do whatever you can with good health while you can. Dance in the sunshine, even the rain… puddle jump soaking the bottom half of your jeans. If you are angry, let it pass, don’t dwell on it. Don’t let obstacles stop you in your path, find a way around them. Always let the ones you care about and love know you care… and just how much, say I love you every morning and before bed each night. Don’t get caught up in the day to day routine of life but truly live it. Forgive others so that neither of you have regrets, you don’t have to forget but always forgive. Be grateful with every breath. Never take anything or anyone for granted, you never know when they may be taken away from you.
